Обсуждение: psql: Add verbose option (+) for \dX command

Hi,

While I was reviewing another patch I noticed that we don't have the
verbose option(+) on \dX command to get extended statistics comments.

Althrought comments can be obtained using obj_description() perhaps it
can be useful to have a verbose option on \dX to get this information.

Thoughts?

I've already proposed a patch to add support for \dX+ :)
Please see [1]. I'd appreciate it if you could review it.

Oops, sorry, I've saw this thread some days ago but I forget that \dX+ 
was also being proposed. I'll take a look.
